Y'all know Victor, in every story, doesn't want to be there right. His theme is running away. He runs away as the demon skin to get away from hell, he runs away as the vamp skin to get away from the vamp hunter and joseph, his normal story he runs away from the old man who

clearly did not treat him right, sheriff he's trying to run away /escape from the train, and in the new oz one he's the wizard who tries to run away from his problems. Like. Hello? He never wanted to fucking be here. Victor literally has stitches across his mouth because he's

afraid of speaking bc I'm pretty damn sure his deduction's say the old man won't hesitate to "silence" him and wick if he ever speaks out about what happened. He wants to escape and have a quiet, normal life. Can you guys stop making him evil or whatever. The embrace story

is about the Bloody Sword and the Misfit trying to get their hands on his tomb because they're corrupted and want it for evil. The black skin he has literally is the embrace before he was turned into a vampire AGAINST HIS WILL MIND YOU. The grace pink skin is Victor's demon

attempt at sneaking in with the humans. He wants to fit in and be normal, you know? He doesn't want to be a demon. He wants to get the fuck out of hell because he likes the human world but everyone is trying to pull him back in. And do you think Victor wants to solve a murder

on a train? NO. HE WANTS TO GET OUTTA THERE BC SOMEONE IS A CRIMINAL. (spoiler: everyone but victor could be the criminals bc that's how the og material goes) Even in his deductions! He's a pauper and the old man is his only source of income. He didn't know he was smuggling

illegal shit until it was too late. He's always afraid for his life and can't speak to anyone about it because the old man is always watching him. He wants to escape. That's why he left for the manor. LEAVE HIM ALONE. LET HIM BE FREE. STOP THIS.
